Next 7 Sept. 2014, at 18:19 UT, the 20-meters large asteroid 2014 RC will made a very close approach with the Earth, reaching a minimum distance of less than 40.000 km, that is 0.1 lunar distances.

Of course, this is a very safe distance, but still a very spectacular circumstance, so the Virtual Telescope Project will offer a live, online event sharing real-time images of 2014 RC with live commentary by our scientific staff.
